More than 1,400 light-years from Earth, the exoplanet WASP-12 b is being slowly devoured by its star. Scientists think it could be gone in 10 million years.
But not today. #MondayMotivation: Today belongs to you!✨

Exoplanets are far away and hard to see, especially next to much bigger and brighter stars. One way to spot them, though, is to look to their stars. An orbiting exoplanet can change the star's light. https://go.nasa.gov/323Oue0

Astrophysicists and citizen scientists teamed up to find three possible exoplanets in the last data from the Kepler telescope -- as it was running out of fuel. (Two planets were confirmed.) https://go.nasa.gov/3MEFSkw

In the time of the dinosaurs, Saturn may not yet have acquired its iconic rings – and future Earth dwellers may someday know a world without them.

Happy Monday, Ducks! Spread your wings, learn new things, and fly as high as you can. It’s time to soar. We believe in you, Ducks!☀️🦆#MondayMotivation


These two stars are on their own adventure!
One collapsed with such force that it was ejected from its galaxy, dragging its binary star companion out with it.
#MondayMotivation: It's all about the journey.

Meet WASP-180 A b, an exoplanet (a planet beyond our own solar system). It's a gas giant nearly the size of Jupiter and orbits its star, its Sun, in just 3.4 Earth days.
#MondayMotivation: Why wait? Get it.

In one minute, light travels 11 million miles/18 million km. (That's 186,000 miles/300,000 km a second!) Light is fast, but distances in space are so vast that it can take years to reach us. https://go.nasa.gov/3ZJ5txv

The famous Pillars of Creation are just a tiny part of the Eagle Nebula. They're both beautiful and hold clues to our universe.

Meet the exoplanet KOI-55 b. It's a small, rocky world 4,000 light-years away. It's less than half the size of Earth, yet it orbits so closely to its host star, that it's stretching its sun.

How did we get here? How do stars and planets come into being? What happens during a star's life, and what fate will its planets meet when it dies? Come along on this interstellar journey through time. https://go.nasa.gov/3hOO9qw

When two galaxies encounter each other, it takes 1-2 billion years for them to merge and settle down. While the stars already in the galaxies don’t change much, the collision can spark lots of new stars to form! ✨ #MondayMotivation

The nitrogen in your DNA was once inside a small star. 🧬 That star shed its outer layers at the end of its life, forming a planetary nebula and freeing its nitrogen to become part of our solar system. #MondayMotivation

#OTD in 1967, Jocelyn Bell Burnell provided the first direct evidence of pulsars, rapidly rotating neutron stars. Decades later, the first exoplanets were found – orbiting pulsars, helping launch a new era of discovery. #MondayMotivation: Change the world

Stars in globular clusters pack snugly together. Messier 28, for example, crams about 50,000 stars into a region just 60 light-years (350 trillion miles) across. The Sun only has about 400 known stellar neighbors that close. #MondayMotivation

To the unaided eye, the Orion Nebula appears as a tiny, hazy spot within the sword of the constellation Orion. But it’s a vast stellar nursery of roiling dust and gas where vast numbers of new stars are forming. #MondayMotivation

Two planets orbit a dim star 81 light-years away. The larger planet is near the habitable zone and is probably tidally locked (one side always faces the star). The most temperate region may be where the two sides meet. #MondayMotivation: Find your light. https://exoplanets.nasa.gov/eyes-on-exoplanets/#/planet/TOI-1468_c/ #NASAExoplanets
